Design 2.0

As Paco Oca published in his blog Maquetadores, he have a new miracle product just for 1.750 $, and you can save all the design department budget. I know some owners that I would prefer never will see this...This product ( access to its web clicking here) promise that, anyone, with two basic ideas can design a newspaper.

I just can't believe that... It looks like a marketing campaign for InDesign creating a sort of big urban legend and then offer the real solutions with his new version... But the world is full of nuts...

New design Messiah and his ¡7! years of experience promises us taht these templates will give great design for small newspapers, doesn't matter if all have the same kind of pages.But, we don't need it. We got this with templates from Publisher. We don't need photographers, we got banks of free images in internet. We don't need infographics artists. We got Clip Arts form Corel.

Some papers, where the really important thins is reducing costs and not getting a good product, could fall in this non-sense. Nobody with a minimum of common sense would buy it, but... you never know... I'm scared...
